With the setup you've got there, a lot of people might think your house
was some kind of secret government facility :)

Seriously though, in many neighborhoods, the HOA would have you in court
within days of installing all that junk. They would try to convince you
that everything needs to be in the backyard or installed in such a way
that it's not visible from the street or from the front view of the
house.

Your could argue your FCC-given rights to receive OTA TV signals, but
the HOA would then insist on evidence that you were unable to
successfully receive TV with antenna placements that comply with their
rules. Your case would be a lot stronger if you had evidence that you
had tried not one, not two, but multiple different antenna types and
installation locations and the only successful configuration was the one
you now have.

Even if you prevailed, some of your neighbors would be really ticked off
that your techno-geek antenna farm is negatively impacting their
property values.

On the other hand, if you don't have an HOA then you can probably do
just about anything you want -- like take that old car you've been
wanting to fix and put it up on cinder blocks in plain sight. That might
be good for a few laughs, especially if you wait until one of your least
favorite neighbors puts his house on the market!
